Ecclesiastes 3:14-16
New Catholic Bible
14 I know that whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it or subtracted from it. God has done this so that everyone will be in awe standing in his presence.
15 Whatever is now has already been,
that which is to come already is,
and God will restore whatever might be displaced.
16 The Problem of Retribution.[a] Moreover, I observed something else under the sun:
Where justice should be, there was wickedness,
and iniquity was in the place of righteousness.

- Ecclesiastes 3:16 By themselves human beings cannot decide anything about the last fate of the just and the unjust except that all must entrust themselves to God. Once again, only the present is accessible to human vision, and all the rest is a mystery.
